So Empty

When you feel so empty that there's nothing left to cry what do you do, where do you go? take a deep breath and swallow the pride Yes I miss you, do you know? More than I want to share This weight is killing me Building up to more than I can bare I've never wanted to be The person who suffers in silence But you're making me sit still These kind of battles always have violence I don't want to have to forget To have all this time just wasted To toss out these memories The bitterness I've never tasted Is left in my mouth now And nothing but you can rinse out It's like you caught me on fire Won't an extinguisher, what's that about I thought you'd be here forever That's what you said, did you forget Cause I want to be there, if you'd allow Those people around you won't, against your best bet I planned on it actually, really I did Up until the point you didn't believe me That I didn't do what you said Cause I was a friend, true as could be Now you want me gone just like that Like I can just vanish from your life I'm not just a ghost now, even if you think But you left, you might as well have used a knife I don't want to be in this fight But you drafted me into this war That's something you just won't admit Accuse me, like always, just completely ignore What you did to me and what you still do Hurt me and blame me for your problems Just to make you feel better about yourself I guess to you, it's easier than solving them Whatever, this is what I'm saying If you want me gone, I'll go But I really don't want to leave I just thought you'd want to know.
